“Making Connections: Supercharging Your Association’s Networking Activities” hosted by NXUnite!
Recorded on: February 2, 2023 - 12:00 PM
Associations bank on the relationships built by their members amongst themselves and the communities they support. This is one of the many reasons why associations hold regular networking events. These events also function as community engagement activities that promote membership and new-found supporters. Join us in this panel as we tackle how associations can further their causes through the power of networking.
What will be discussed?
- Benefits of a strong association network
- Industry best practices when organizing networking events
- Common mistakes when organizing and how to avoid them
Who should attend:
- While we firmly believe that anyone in the nonprofit sector could benefit from learning and thinking about the benefits of association networking activities, association leaders and professionals will find this panel the most pertinent.
